Theorem 1 (Newton–Euler Equations, body frame) Let a rigid body of mass m and inertia I (in body frame) move in space under external force F_ext and moment M_ext expressed in body coordinates. The equations of motion in body frame are: m (v̇ + ω × v) = F_body I ω̇ + ω × I ω = M_body where v is body-frame linear velocity of the center of mass, ω is body angular velocity. (Proof: Section 3.)

Abstract A self-contained, rigorous treatment of rigid-body dynamics is presented, unifying classical formulations (Newton–Euler, Lagrange, Hamilton) with modern geometric mechanics (Lie groups, momentum maps, reduction, symplectic structure). The monograph develops kinematics, equations of motion, variational principles, constraints, stability and conservation laws, and computational techniques for simulation and control. Emphasis is placed on mathematical rigor: precise definitions, well-posedness results, coordinate-free formulations on SE(3) and SO(3), and proofs of equivalence between formulations. rigid dynamics krishna series pdf

Theorem 4 (Reduction by symmetry — Euler–Poincaré) If L is invariant under a Lie group G action, then dynamics reduce to the Lie algebra via the Euler–Poincaré equations. For rigid body with G = SO(3), reduced equations are Euler's equations. (Proof: Section 7.) Theorem 1 (Newton–Euler Equations, body frame) Let a
